Be itfkn'own th it I, Anciisr Liaiso a citizen of the United- States,and a resident of the "city ofDayton, inlthe county of Montgomeryand,..State {of Ohio, have invented, .certain'new andsiusefulImprovements in Steam Pressing-Beds, of-which the followf'reference'being had to" the'accompanying l drawing, jforimng 5 part ofthis specification.

Th .Qbject of my invention, is to 'provide a lpressing'bed for.;garments in which dry stealnfma'y. be' 'Tpr ovidedfor steaming gar-f I-mentsr hy. means; of 'jcondensing j apparatus located-withinthe-pressing bed whereby the, -wa te r'of condensation'may'beremoved-from f g tgm before-it is' injected through th armently fl Y IThe i inventidni consists poi. that rnovel construetionand-'-'arrangement of parts to be hereinafter out "and claimed Ini'thedrawin a -perspec tive' view {of the steaming bed -densing chamber, Fig.5 is a' transverse section of the shoulder heating bed. Fig. 6 I 'is abottom plan View of the circulating and- I condensing chamber of saidshoulder heat-' ing'bed. I v

The steaming and heating beds are m'ounted on a suitable-table 1, withtable top 2,

I "which carries the gooseneck support 3, upon which is mounted thesteaming and heating bed 4,'comprising a hollow elongated box 5,

f in the top surface of which a series .of per- '45 r iprovide'd with-aninlet pipe 9 -and an outlet .forations-(i are formed, through which thesteam is delivered 'tothe garments to be pressed. Supported on lugs 7 7,inside of' the box, is a closed circulating chamber- 8,

10, so that'a circulation of steam maybe continuously. kept-up thronghthe circulating chamber to maintain the heat of the pressing bed. Nosteam escapes from this circulating chamber, and the purpose of thischamber is only to maintain the heat of the apparatus. During thehoursof use 'of-the' apparatus, live steam will be continuously circulatedthrough this chamber.

Formed integral with the bottom plate of particularly pointed p 'a nensr'iras'ancn, or narrow, oniro,

the' irculating chamber,-or suitablyseciired' I thereto and dependinginto the lower half-of; l

the box 5, is a pair ofcondensi'ng troughs 11,11, which run'lengthwiseof the box, and

are separated-from'each other sufliciently to allow for the location ofthesteam pipe 12' between the two "condensing troughs, andthis steampipe is. closed at its end-13, and is provided with a series ofperforations 14, through'which :the steam is projected between the.upper edge 15 'ofthe condensing troughs and the bottom of the,circulating} .ehamber. These condensingcharnbers are 'each provided witha shelf16, to :enlarge'the condensing surface; l Perforations 17; are.

prox ided in. the base of the, condensingm troughs at one end throughwhich the-water ofcondensationcan be 'dischargedi-into .the:j

bottom of the box, whence it is carried away 7' i through-the opening 18andywaste chamber, whenceit is projected through the Dry steam, aftercirculating through the f condensing troughs, passes downwardly in. thedirection of the arrows 2.0, and up around the sides- 21, 21,'ofithe'circulating perforations 6. In this .way, I am able to providehot dry'steamior .the garments' to I be pressed.

The box- '5, for its top and sides, wi-ll be usually covered withseveral thicknesses of cloth, which, howevenare-not shown in thedrawing. The steam for the. condensing 1 troughs is supplied throughthez'pipe 22," which passes through the opening 34: in the box 5and-connects at35 'with: .the steam.

pipe 12, and the's team for the circulating chamber is circulatedthrough the inlet-pipe 23 and outlet pipe 24, which are suitably;connected by couplings with their res'pective connections within theapparatus. The

inlet pipe 23 passes through the opening 36 in the bottom of the box 5and connects with the pipe 9 at 37,"and-. the outlet pipe '24 passes jthrough 5 and connects with the openin bottom of the circulating chamer.

The-smaller shoulder bed 25] 's of the same construction as the maingarment bed.

m the opening :38 in the box- 10 in the This shoulderibedisfsupported onone end of the table this standard26," and is pro- 1 vicled with theapproximately -Sem-i-spherical' perforated topplate 27, with the closed.circulating chamber 28,. with. steam pipe" inlet audout-let connections29, 30, thesteam. supply pipe 31, with: condensing troughs 32, I I

' 32, and ai d-ischarge pipe 33 for the water of condensation.

In use, the garments to be 'steamed and pressed are laid 'upon the-topof thebe'd, and the steam passedthrough the cloth as above described.;When. the. garments have been properly steamed and cleaned, the"pressing plate, which is usually hinged in proper position to bebroughtdown on,top'

of the heating bed, is employed to press the garments: As mypresent-invention relates to the construction of the heating bed, how;

I ever, I have not illustrated the pressing plate.
